What the papers say: Sunday's front pages
A warning from the HSE and potential electricity grants are among the stories on the front pages of Sunday's newspapers.
The Sunday Independent reports the HSE has warned of a 'twindemic' as a spike in Covid-19 cases alongside the flu season could see more than 20,000 people hospitalised this winter.
The paper also reads: '125,000 households could be hit by rolling blackout', as the Government prepares for energy shortages over the coming months.
